FlowPlaced

Great people. One clear fee.

FlowPlaced is the fixed-fee direct-hire platform inside Flow Group Ventures. Direct-hire recruiting for teams that need the right person, not another stack of resumes. Pay $2,999 only when you hire, with 90-day replacement support.

No retainers. No salary-based percentage. Candidates never pay.

Placement fee

$2,999

Per successful hire. The same fee regardless of the candidate's salary.

  • 01One important role is open and the business needs it filled, not a programme built.
  • 02Percentage fees make the cost of a hire unpredictable before it happens.
  • 03Agency shortlists arrive fast but undifferentiated.
  • 04Internal teams do not have the bandwidth to run a proper search.
A fairer placement model

Recruitment should not cost more because the candidate earns more.

Traditional placement fees rise with salary. This fee is clear from the beginning: $2,999, payable only when you hire a candidate we introduce.

Payment timing
Payment is due only after a successful hire. There is no retainer, no upfront search fee and no percentage of first-year salary.
Replacement support
If a placement does not work out during the first 90 days, the search restarts for the same role and a new replacement shortlist is provided, subject to the terms of the service agreement.
Candidates
Candidates never pay FlowPlaced for an introduction, interview or placement.

How it connects to FGV

FlowPlaced is the fixed-fee direct-hire platform inside Flow Group Ventures. It is used when a business needs one specific hire rather than a hiring system. Where a continuous or multi-market hiring operation is required, the same FGV relationship delivers through TaaSFlow instead — the senior contact does not change.

Common questions

Clear answers, no fine print.

When is the $2,999 fee paid?

After a successful hire. There is no retainer and no upfront search fee — the placement fee becomes due once the candidate is hired, under the terms of the service agreement.

Is the fee based on the candidate's salary?

No. The fee is $2,999 regardless of the candidate's compensation. Recruitment should not cost more because the candidate earns more.

What happens if the hire does not work out?

If a placement does not work out during the first 90 days from the start date, the search restarts for the same role and a new replacement shortlist is provided, subject to the terms of your agreement.

What types of positions are covered?

Direct-hire, permanent positions across clinical, legal, technical, commercial, financial and operational functions — from individual contributors through to leadership roles.

Can several roles run at once?

Yes. Multiple roles can run in parallel, each scoped separately and each carrying the same fixed placement fee.

Do candidates pay anything?

Never. Candidates do not pay FlowPlaced for an introduction, an interview or a placement.

Are searches run outside the United States?

Yes. The Americas is the primary market, with cross-border searches supported across Europe and selected hubs in Asia. Each search is scoped to the country, function and seniority required.
